Indigestion

Indigestion is a broad description of discomfort of the stomach which can be caused by several different ailments.

Indigestion is a term used to describe symptoms including a feeling of fullness during a meal, uncomfortable fullness after a meal and burning or pain in the upper belly.

It can be caused by conditions including acid reflux, stomach ulcers, cancer or abnormality of the pancreas or bile ducts. However, sometimes there is no underlying cause other than a particularly active stomach (your stomach muscles squeeze and relax to send the food down your digestive tract).

Indigestion is common in adults and can occur once in a while or as often as every day.
